Brian Crecente

by Patrick Stafford

Brian Crecente doesn’t need much of an introduction. He was a reporter at several newspapers before beginning his role as editor of Kotaku. He’s also the co-founder and news editor of Polygon.

I’m a fan of Brian’s work, and we chatted for an hour here about not only his work at Polygon and Kotaku, but his extensive experience as a police reporter and what that experience taught him in terms of the importance of news and news reporting. He’s had to go through a lot, but is undoubtedly a better reporter for it.
